Day uplifts and inspires with 'You're Never Weird on the Internet (almost)'

Felicia Day’s autobiographical memoir “You’re Never Weird on the Internet (almost)” highlights Day’s awesomeness in unexpected ways. A woman with serious geek and gamer cred, Day reveals the hardships that she had to go through to reach a place where her work and private life could be healthy. It is her vulnerability and very real kindness and generosity that make this book an uplifting read.

While the strength of her book lies in the later chapters, Day’s origin story as a homeschooled violin prodigy provides some cringe worthy awkwardness that creep back later on. It is the story of her struggle with depression and her love for creating that makes for a captivating read, and Day doesn’t leave anything out when it comes to embarrassment. Her story about meeting Nichelle Nichols at Salt Lake Comic Con is hilariously relatable.​Her writing style is the same as her frenetic speaking style, which may have had some of the non-sequiturs edited out. If you are looking for motivation, encouragement, or a good book to read with your morning coffee on a Saturday when you have one too many things planned, “You’re Never Weird on the Internet (almost)” is the perfect companion. Let Day lift you up and inspire you to recognize how good you really are.
